About Me

italki teacher since Sep 6, 2021

InterestsWritingHistoryReadingFilms & TV SeriesTravel

I'm a proud Asian-American (specifically an American-born Chinese) who loves to learn new languages and teach conversational English to all those who would like to learn/practise. I don't teach children (i.e., anyone less than 18 years of age). 我不教小孩子的 (只要是超过十八岁的人都可以). Besides learning new languages, I'm a foodie who loves to travel, read, visit museums, and I highly enjoy watching crime TV shows, movies, and anime. Lastly, I enjoy conversing with others about a plethora of topics.

Me as a Teacher

I've been informally teaching English for over 10 years, starting from the time I was a freshman at college/university (age 18). The first time I ever taught English informally was when I studied abroad for a month in China; my fellow companions and I taught English for 2 days in Zhucheng, Shandong Province, and then conversed/taught students for 2 weeks at Peking University (aka. Bei Da 北大). Since I'm not a professional teacher, I like to assist people with their conversation and comprehension skills.

My lessons & teaching style

As I'm teaching informally, I don't have any official lessons planned. My teaching style is very casual and all about helping people improve their conversation and comprehension skills. I am very good with both vernacular and formal vocabulary.

Excellent chat as always, Cynthia is pretty engaging, outgoing and has a lot of interesting conversation topics, in addition she is super chill and doesn't rush to end the conversation abruptly even when our time is up with is a massive plus. Highly recommended as a conversation tutor if your English is already in the upper intermediate level or better.
